Dog Training Tips : Dog Training: Barking

How do you keep a dog from barking? When she’s barking at the door yelling at her; “Sadie, no, stop it, Sadie, stop it, stop, stop it, stop.” What am I doing? I am barking with the dog. So, if you want your dog to stop barking this is not the way to accomplish that. “Who’s there?” OK. I’m going to move her out of the line of vision and I’m going to give her something else to do. “Sit, very good, down, closer in a down, good boy, good girl, excellent.” This is going to do is it’s going to help to give the dog an idea of what I expect from her. If she’s barking at the door and I don’t go and get her she’s going to continually bark if I yell stop it don’t I’m adding to the barking. So, you make sure that you go get your dog. You bring her back. Don’t make it where she’s being punished. Then you can place her into a sit or a down. If she continues to bark I’m just going to go ahead and move her around again; “Come here, good;” and place her in the sit.This will show her that she did good by the bark, but that it only needs three. .
